6. Lifetime Achievement Awards: The Division awarded its second bi-annual Lifetime

owes extends its appreciation to the review committee consisting of Bella Mody
(Michigan State U), Ev Rogers (U of New Mexico and the last recipient of the
Lifetime Achievement Award), and Young Kim (U of Oklahoma).
7. Budget: We receive about $2771 annually. We overspent last year by about $900, so are giving less for awards this year. We are still giving money to top student paper winners, but not the others. The division members present keeping division money for our own purposes rather than having it go back to ICA to assist with the ICA deficit problem.
8. Web page: the group recognized and applauded Clemencia Rodríguez, Division secretary, for her fine work with our new division web-page. The web page is an excellent resource for our scholars and students. The URL for the web page is: http://www.ou.edu/idc/ .
9. Next Year's Conference:
a. Bill Eadie, head of the host committee for San Diego reported to the division
that our hotel will be on the harbor, and about $99 per night. They may be arranging
a trip to Baja CA, to see Fox Studio, a tour of the border area, and viewing
of documentary films.
b. Bob Craig, head of planning for ICA next year, reported to the division.
Division members noted that our session attendance was quite high (about 20
for each session as a rough average) and that our room was too small. Joe Straubhaar
asked if computer projection could be available in each room. Craig asked division
members to forward suggestions for plenary speakers to him. Division members
also noted that ICA needs to make visa requirements, for the US and for Mexico,
quite clear; and asked what ICA might do to strengthen ties with Asian community.
Future conferences: 2004 New Orleans; 2005 New York; 2006 Berlin or Naples.
